The Holy Spirit
Dear Reader
Who or what is the Holy Spirit?
The Bible is our only source of reference!
Jesus said, "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26
The Holy Spirit is a PERSON with a MIND - the mind of God; the 3rd person of the triune godhead. He is NOT a mindless energy force (Buddhism - prana) that we tap into and USE as a personal genie for our own selfish interests or personal gratification.
The Holy Spirit's primary mission is to INDWELL the follower of Jesus Christ and teach, empower and lead him/her in service to Jesus Christ for their maturation and the extension and building up of God's church (kingdom) on Earth.
He is the DOWN PAYMENT or pledge/guarantee from God (Gr: arrabon) for what is to come (eternal life.) Ephesians 1:13-14.
He is the COMFORTER, helper/advocate/intercessor (Gr: parakletos) who aids the believer in living an obedient, holy and sanctified life before God. John 14:26
He is JESUS CHRIST living in the believer as the 3rd person of the godhead. Colossians 1:27, Galatians 2:20
He is the INNER FOUNTAIN and source of (living streams of water) in the believer enabling a holy life, the working of the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit and the works of power (miracles) that destroy the power of Satan. John 7:38-39
He is the GLORIFIER of Jesus Christ in every Christian believer. John 16:14
He is the ANOINTING of God in the life of the Christian believer teaching them and leading them into all truth. 1 John 2:27

Note:
The gift of the Holy Spirit and the other 7 gifts that come from it are 'pneumatikos' (spirituals) supernatural gifts as distinguished from talents, which are 'charismatikos' or natural gifts. There is a HUGE distinction here!
The Holy Spirit is the "PROMISE" of God to all who have "REPENTED" of their sins, been "BAPTISED" in water and have become obedient "DISCIPLES" of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit "INDWELLS" the believer and "EMPOWERS" them to live in "HOLINESS" and "SANCTIFICATION" before God. The only "INITIAL" 3 signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit in Scripture are a "Mighty Rushing Wind Sound," "Tongues of Fire" and "Speaking In Tongues."
Please Note: The Holy Spirit is NOT an OPTION for Christians as many people have been FALSELY led to believe. God has commanded his people to be "FILLED" with the Spirit. Obedience is "MANDATORY" in the kingdom of God! This is a JOY to any lover of Jesus Christ because it is TRUE freedom!
The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove and EMPOWERED Jesus Christ after he was baptized in water. Immediately Jesus was led into the wilderness to be TEMPTED by the Devil for 40 days and 40 nights. Matthew 3:13-Matt 4:1. Jesus is our example that we should follow.
Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:5-8, "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again. 8The wind blows where it lists, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell whence it comes, and whither it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." It is clear that everyone Born of the Holy Spirit is Born Again BY that Spirit.
Jesus said to his disciples that the Holy Spirit would be both WITH and IN them! John 14: 16-21, "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you. 18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also. 20At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."
After Jesus resurrection John 20:22 declares, "And having said this, He breathed on them and He says to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit." Why did he do this? This was a temporary empowerment of the Spirit WITH them until the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day Of Pentecost.
Jesus commanded his disciples in Luke 24:49 to wait in Jerusalem until they had received the Holy Spirit. "And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but wait in the city of Jerusalem, until you are endued with power from on high." Why did he say this? The disciples would not have been able to carry out the great commission without the Holy Spirit. They needed God's power dwelling within them just as EVERY Christian does. The Holy Spirit is the SEAL of God in a person's life!
It is clear from Acts that all believers in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost received the Holy Spirit and all spoke in tongues ... all! Those 120 disciples did not understand what they were saying! The other people from many lands who were outside listening to the huge noise coming from the building heard them and did understand. Paul in 1 Corinthians 14:13 is talking about a different 'gift' of tongues meant for the church gatherings only, to be accompanied with an 'interpretation.' These are 2 separate manifestations of the same 'Holy Spirit.'
The scripture says clearly 1 Cor 14:2 "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries." Again Paul says in 1 Cor 14:15 "What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also."
Is Paul discounting in any way speaking in tongues for every believer? No way! He is simply appealing to common sense and order in the church in case an unbeliever who doesn't understand comes in and is offended in some way by the sound they hear.
God is supernatural and we are natural. To walk in the power of God a believer must be supernaturally empowered by the Holy Spirit. The evidence of having been baptised in the Holy Spirit is 'speaking in tongues' ... a new prayer language. This enables the believer to pray according to the will of God without 'human' understanding. It is a sign to UNBELIEVERS not believers!
We don't know how or what to pray and Paul says this in Romans 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." The Holy Spirit in us prays in that new prayer language according to the will of God that we don't and cannot know with our pitiful human minds.
It is the Holy Spirit that intercedes through our spirit. No one knows the mind of God so praying with human understanding is limited.
Praying in 'tongues' is dynamic intercession (prayer) as the Holy Spirit uses our tongue (we cooperate with him) to accomplish in the "supernatural" realm what God wills.

God's Righteous Order
As in the natural world so it is in the SPIRIT (spiritual world.) First came the FLOOD judgement and destruction of the antediluvian (ancient) world (due to excessive wickedness) threatening the survival of all life on Earth. Then the FIRE of judgement will come at the end of this AGE burning up the enemies of God and the old, corrupt creation.
So also, WATER baptism is a sign of a good conscience towards GOD and a watery DEATH to the OLD sinful life after REPENTANCE and a symbolic resurrection to the NEW life in CHRIST.
Then comes the BAPTISM of FIRE in the HOLY SPIRIT which inaugurates and seals the new life of believers as shown clearly in ACTS on the Day of Pentecost. This is the PATTERN laid down by GOD for his CHURCH for ALL TIME.
The Result:
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Col 1:27

The Holy Spirit In Scripture
Old Testament
The Promise:
Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Joe 2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Isa 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
Isa 28:12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Eze 36:25 -29 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
New Testament
The Promise Is Given:

Matt 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Matthew 12:31-33 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognised by its fruit.
Mark 3:29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin." …

Luke 11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?
Luke 24:45-49 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
John 3: 5-6 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" .…
John 3: 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
John 7:38-39 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
John 14: 12-13 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.…
John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
John 16:7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
John 16:14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.
Acts 2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. …
Acts 2:38-39 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."
Act 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
Act 8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
Act 10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
Act 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Act 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.
Act 10:47 Then answered Peter, can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Romans 8:2-6 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
Romans 8:9 However you are not in the flesh but the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ he does not belong to him.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,
Romans 8:26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;
1 Cor 6:19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own …
1 Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
1 Cor 14:8 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
2 Corinthians 6:6 in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; …
2 Cor 13:5-6 For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you. Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you-- unless indeed you fail the test?
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 3:16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,
Ephesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. …
Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;
1 Thes 1: 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

2 Timothy 1:14 Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you - guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us. ...
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness we we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Hebrews 3:7 So, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you hear his voice, ….
Hebrews 6: 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Hebrews 9:8 The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. ...
John 1:32 - 34 And John bare record saying, i saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and it abode upon him. …
1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
1 John 3: 24 And he that keeps his commandments dwells in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
1 John 4: 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
